Rest in peace Frank. Frank helped me many times with repairing and improving my springers. I also bought my Crosman Trapmaster via Frank, and it was nice to meet him.

I unfortunately knew Frank only slightly, mostly through our mutual friend Gaines Blackwell in Alabama. But always a supremely knowledgeable and helpful gentleman! It's hard to imagine his collection of European airguns has any peers. His loss is like the proverbial library burning down.

A loss to the vintage airgun community. I eagerly read and really enjoyed his very interesting posts and photos of his collecton. His vintage airgun tastes were impeccable. Fairly recently he purchased a Bsa Junior from me and when chatting, it turned out I had sent him a Meteor Cadet to Holland about 20 years ago too. International postage was a lot of phaff back then, but he patiently guided me through what seemed a major undertaking and I remember thinking what decent chap he was all those years ago..
